lyrics

When the back of winter's broken and it starts to lose its hold when the early songs of birds begin to lift
When the days begin to lengthen and begin to lose their cold its then the maple trees give us their gift

Oh, the sap flows without effort when there's mud upon the ground
But there's effort in the halin' and the care to boil it down
And it's sweetened by our labor
And we're patient at the task
To make some maple sirup at the last

Every drop of this years syrup holds the taste of last years sun and the magic of the root and leave combined
Their's a lifting of my spirt when this season is begun when the tress awake and spring be far behind

Oh, the sap flows without effort when there's mud upon the ground
But there's effort in the haling and the care to boil it down
And it's sweetened by our labor
And we're patient at the task
To make some maple sirup at the last

Oh, the sap flows without effort when there's mud upon the ground
But there's effort in the haling and the care to boil it down
And it's sweetened by our labor
And we're patient at the task
To make some maple sirup at the last
